Thanks for the feedback.
1) Probably the sane thing to do would be to call it easy_install-3,
right?
That's what has been done with most of the other tools for Python 3, and it
looks like python-setuptools-devel installs easy_install-2.6. It seems to me
that it would be fine for the Python 3 version to only install under the
versioned name.
It already installs a /usr/bin/easy_install-3.1
It's not clear to me if we need an easy_install-3; we could rename it to that,
or drop it.
2) I assume that when the brp-python-bytecompile patch is in, the
__python def
will go away, right?
I also used __python in order to override the standard python fragments for
getting sitearch/sitelib for setup, build and install. One of my aims is to
minimize the diff against the original specfile.
3) The python_sitelib stuff looks a bit hackish, but there might not
be any
better way to do it.
What do you see as hackish about it? I'm trying to
follow the changes
proposed here:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-packaging/2009-October/msg00042.html
to these:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Python
(which work around the "print" change from 2 to 3; again trying to keep the 2
and 3 versions in sync)
4) I still think it's insane that easy_install is in the -devel
subpackage. I
know that this is a carryover from the python2 packaging, but I think it's
worth reconsidering. If I recall correctly, the rationale was that
easy_install depended on some files from python-devel, or something like that.
Anyway, I think it's a disservice to users that the setuptools package doesn't
include easy_install.
I want to stick as close as possible to the python 2
version of the package, so
I'd suggest taking that up as a separate bug report against that package.
